Hard on the heels....

....of the news that an American Muslim plotted to assassinate President Bush while attending religious school in Saudi Arabia comes Charles Johnson's revelation that the media neglected to mention that he was the son of a Saudi embassy employee.

Mainstream media identified Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, the US citizen charged with conspiring to assassinate President Bush, as “a former Virginia high school valedictorian.” Sounds pretty respectable, eh?

What they didn’t tell you: he was valedictorian of the American madrassa known as the Islamic Saudi Academy, and his father worked at the Royal Saudi Arabian Embassy in Washington, DC. Rusty Shackleford has details: Terrorist Son of Saudi Embassy Worker Attended Saudi Run School.

Nice to know our "friends" care.
